Portrait artists are seeing an increase in business. “I think the baby boomers have realized there’s more and more that needs to be maintained, that a portrait is a gift you leave for future generations,” says Toronto artist Gail Hill. Indeed, many of Hill’s clients are women in their mid-40s to mid-50s: “We are the most beautiful we’ve ever been, the most powerful, the most confident and competent,” she says. “And we’re also able to buy art.” – The Globe and Mail (Canada)
